I recently stayed at this resort spa, and I had a lovely time overall. The rooms were spacious and super clean, making my stay very comfortable. The location was perfect for relaxing by the beach, but I had higher expectations for the dining experience. While the staff was welcoming, I was a bit let down by the breakfast offerings. Nevertheless, the pool area was a nice touch and added to the overall experience.

Staying at this resort was a lovely experience overall. The rooms were spacious and clean, making for a comfortable stay. The staff was incredibly helpful, ready to assist with our bags after check-out and even offered to take us nearby. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach. However, the dining experience didn't quite meet expectations and the single charging point in the room could be limiting. Nevertheless, the value for money was decent given the pleasant amenities available.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the friendly staff really made my stay pleasant. However, it got pretty hot without air conditioning, and the dining options could be improved, considering the price. The location was great for easy access to the beach and nearby restaurants, but the beach itself was a bit polluted.

The hotel has a great atmosphere with helpful hostesses and nice, cool rooms, which is a blessing in the heat of Trincomalee. While the rooms may lack some noise insulation and amenities, I appreciated the service and the organized boat trips. However, I felt that the breakfast options could be improved, and the beach cleanliness left much to be desired.
